This guy was the presenter of the first radio show I produced, when I was 22. We’d go for coffee and toast afterwards in the cafe of a department store in Carlisle and crack silly jokes. He was brill. RIP Richard. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great British political scandals MUST feature an osteopath, it's the rules
I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in

Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files
